'Noose' found in university hospital sparks hate crime allegation

[Maverick]

If I didn't get a chuckle out of this I would be damn pist at the ignorance

"Dean of medical school had called it 'symbol of hate and discrimination'"

The story

 

[tmttactical]

Yep, open mouth, insert foot and them weasel out. Anybody want to guess what political party the Dean follows?

What an effen wimp. "Offended" by a fishing knott. Some people really need to get a life. And quit looking for something that doesn't exist.

At first when I saw this, I thought to myself, "did that smallett guy visit the hospital? It would have been ideal, he could have beat himself up right there & gotten help immediately!

Runge said that even though apparently no hate crime was committed, many were emotionally affected, the University Record reported.

"Our community came together to support each other, reaffirmed our stance against hate, and began having open dialogues about this incident and ways to make our community more inclusive,"

So they needed a support group because of a fishing knot.

Never mind the facts, stick to the narrative no matter what.

Seriously, though, I'm curious. Will they discuss the difference between a "Noose" and a "fishing knot" in this support group? After they cover that, stop hyperventilating, then what else is there to cover in this 'support group'?

A noose found in a home depot sent 2 customers screaming in "panic" . Employees had to call a manager for them . Another customer confessed that he tied the knott and left it in the rope aisle . The 2 panicked customers say they are going to stage protests in front of the store and the manager is getting death threats and harassing phone calls .

i wonder if i can lure them into more stupidity. That's one stupid situation.

It is a Fishing Knot. So, any fish that is part of that university's staff or students have every right to be offended. The university needs to provide counseling to anyone who has Fish in their ancestry background. Anyone else who claims to be offended are just RACIST.

just about as stupid as expelling a little grade school kid for chewing his cookie into the shape of a gun ....

 

[TexasFreedom]

Oh wait, we have a new fellow named "Illini Warrior"?

You're a prepper AND you live in the communist state of Illinois? Yikes! Tell us more about what it's like behind the iron curtain.

 

[Arcticdude]

Do I have to go through my tackle boxes and look for racist knotts now? This is almost enough to make me join a support group down at our local bar.

 

[jimLE]

just don't join AA..it's for quitters.
